North of Debar and Saint Regis Mountains, the land flattens out somewhat and becomes lushly sodden. This is a land of lake chains and marshes, beloved by paddlers, anglers, and duck hunters. Picturesque Tupper Lake marks the loose boundary between this region and the High Peaks. You can't miss it, Route 30 runs along most of its eastern shore.The St. Regis Canoe Area is a beautiful chain of ponds—paradise can be a week-long canoe trip where you explore a different pond each day. Big and wild Cranberry Lake beckons for those who want it even wilder: venture here for some fine hiking and magnificent paddling. The Cranberry Lake area is where you'll find the Five Ponds Wilderness—one of the most remote in the park and largely trailless
